Designing for domestic well-being: a five-dimensional framework for sensory and experiential quality in housing
Well-being has become a central concept in architectural research on housing, yet the term remains operationally imprecise, typically reduced either to measurable physical comfort or to broad associations with health and happiness. This paper addresses that gap by developing an evidence-based, operational definition of domestic well-being grounded in well-being theory, environmental psychology, neuroarchitecture, and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) research. Methodologically, the work takes the form of a systematic conceptual review, synthesizing hedonic and eudaimonic traditions and mapping their spatial correlates in residential design. The principal outcome is a five-dimensional framework of domestic well-being articulating physical-environmental comfort, physical and psychological restoration, control-functionality-safety, identity and meaning, and privacy-coexistence-social quality. Each dimension accompanied by architectural design correlates and key empirical references. The framework repositions housing not as a neutral technical container but as an active environment capable of shaping physiological, emotional, and cognitive states, and contributes to current discussions on evidence-based residential design, neuroarchitecture, and architecture for health.
